Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Xiao Hei had seen how badly he was beaten by the Sixth Elder, so he naturally did not dare to resist. He obediently turned into a ball of black mist, and a voice came from the black mist: "Princess, is this okay? Do you want another look?"

Several people: ... Damn, what the hell is this? !

"No, it looks like they believed it. Change back to your original form. Don't forget to wear the mask, or you might scare the children. That would be bad."

"Don't worry, Princess. I will be very obedient, as long as you don't hit me."

Huo Bashan clenched his fists and stared at the black fog, which slowly turned into a human form. He seemed afraid that they couldn't see it clearly, so he deliberately slowed down to let them take a closer look. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Princess, why did you bring this thing back? It's too dangerous to keep it with you. What if it hurts you? You are the only master of Qi Kingdom."

"You are a noble person, but having this kind of thing around you is really too..."

When Xiao Hei heard this, he sat on the chair with his head drooped, sobbing: "Wow, I am really a waste. The elders bully me, and you look down on me. If I didn't know how to commit suicide, I might as well die and put an end to it all."

Jiang Li was chewing a pig's trotter. Hearing this, he glanced at him and said unhappily, "That's enough. I'm eating and in a good mood. Don't come here to cause trouble. It's so annoying. If you want to cry, go cry somewhere else."

"General Huo, I know you mean well, but since you can bring him out, you must be absolutely sure that he can't hurt me at all. In fact, I brought more than just him out, I also brought... a lot of, um, and the Venerable puppets."

As soon as he thought about it, many people in black robes appeared out of nowhere in the room. Some of them were standing straight with dull eyes, looking at them blankly, which was somewhat creepy.

With a bang, an old man was overly excited and fell down.

Jiang Li glanced at their faces with an innocent look: "What's wrong? Are you a little scared? If you are scared, then I will take them away. It's very simple to bring them back just to explain clearly that there is something behind the war."

"These things are evidence. As for the puppet of the Venerable, I brought it back so that their family can claim it and then let the Master send them to reincarnation so that they can rest in peace. It would be too pitiful for them to be a puppet."

The three members of the Huo family looked at each other, their eyes gradually becoming confused. They knew every word, but why were they put together? They couldn't understand. The princess was worthy of being the master, her brain was different from others.

"Princess, you should put these things away."

Jiang Li nodded obediently. In an instant, the black-robed man's puppet disappeared, leaving the others with their eyes wide open. If the assassin had not tried his best to restrain himself, he would have fainted due to his legs going weak.

an hour later

The study door was opened, and Jiang Li came out with a smile on his face, followed by a few people. They all looked unhappy, with fear in their eyes, as if they were stimulated. Just as they were about to go back, a familiar voice rang in their ears.

"General Huo, if the Yu Kingdom army comes, I will deal with it. Send people to pay more attention to whether there are large numbers of people missing recently. Also, build more houses to prepare to collect the people of Lianhua Town."

Huo Boshan came back to his senses, bowed his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Yes, I will obey the princess's order and make sure everything is properly arranged."

"Someone, take the princess down and serve her well."

After Jiang Li walked away, Huo Mingxuan frowned and said worriedly: "Dad, do you think what the princess said is true? If so, how terrible must the person who plays chess be to stir up the muddy waters of several countries and make them kill each other."

"Is it true? I have seen it with my own eyes. The world is going to be in chaos. Fortunately, the princess arrived in time. Otherwise, once the war with Yu Country started, I am afraid it would not be so easy to stop."

Huo Boshan coughed twice, covered his aching chest, and looked at his two sons: "Mingxuan, the resettlement of the people in Lianhua Town is left to you. As for Minghao, you go and find out if any people have gone missing recently."

"If you have any clues, report back in time. Don't take risks lightly. Those things are not something that a mortal like you can easily deal with. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Dad, you take good care of your injuries. If there is anything else, just let me do it."

five days later

The Yu Kingdom's army is approaching the city

Jiang Li stood on the city wall, looking at the soldiers of the Yu Kingdom who were setting up camp on the opposite side. He waited until dark, jumped down from the city wall, landed lightly on the ground, and flew towards the Yu Kingdom camp, followed by a cloud of black mist.

"Princess, wait for me!"

He found the largest tent and pricked up his ears to listen. When Si Ling was the only one inside, he jumped down, lifted the curtain, and slipped straight in. Before he got close, he felt a chill on his face.

I shivered. It's really immoral to let out some cold air in the middle of winter.

Si Ling turned and looked at her with a somewhat unfamiliar look in his eyes: "Princess, you came to the enemy camp alone and didn't expect to encounter danger. You should be serious about your abilities. You are so sure that no one can hurt you."

Jiang Li shrugged, walked over with a relaxed look, picked up the cakes on the table and ate them, then sat down on the couch as if nothing had happened, pointing at the black robe: "I'm not the only one here, nice to meet you, his name is Xiao Hei."

"We have known each other for such a long time. Do we have to be so formal? I came to see you for something important. We cannot fight this battle. If we do, we will fall into someone else's trap."

“…What on earth are you talking about?”

Jiang Li clapped his hands, somewhat helplessly: "Xiao Hei, come and perform for him. After you finish watching, it would be better if we talk about other things. Otherwise, you keep doubting me and we can't continue this conversation."

Xiao Hei acted as a tool, and performed a magic trick right in front of him, saying flatteringly: "Princess, what do you think?"

"Well, you go out first. I want to talk to Si Ling alone."

"Okay, I'll leave now."

There were only two people left in the tent. One of them was eating without thinking, and the other looked at her with complicated eyes, full of confusion. He seemed to be thinking about something and was a little absent-minded. After a while, he came to his senses and asked in a low voice: "Princess, tell me everything."

Jiang Li put down the cake in his hand and explained everything clearly. His eyes were clear and he said with a bit of helplessness: "This is it. You and I, and even the whole world, are all pawns of that devil."

"It's using us, nourishing itself with its flesh and blood. If it really came back to life, to be honest, I may not be able to defeat it, so we have to keep fighting. The more we die, the faster it will revive."

Si Ling was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Even if we don't fight, the result will not change. At most, it will delay a little longer. What's the difference? It's just a pointless struggle. Besides, it's your majesty's order. Even I can't resist it."

Jiang Li nodded. She understood this. After all, not everyone was like her, with the final say. This was the advantage of being the only lord. Scarcity makes things valuable. Her words carried a lot of weight in Qi State.
